Sort by: Rating | Release Date | Rating Date | Name5.0 classicTrivium Ascendancy Trivium is an absolutely amazing band and plays with the versatility and chemistry of a band such as Iron Maiden. The perfect example of versatility and agression is Ascendancy. Easily Triviums best piece of work "Although I truly do enjoy the crusade" and it is definantely worth remembering. Easily put, this album 20 years from now should leave a mark like Metallica's Master Of Puppets did. I think that they can steadily continue to grow and mature down the road. The chemistry is amazing and their so young. Frontman Heafy is a prime example of versatility and skill. His ability to thras out a guitar solo along side guitarist corey and keep a steady beat while screamin a intense lyric, then smoothly transfer back to a melodic yet aggresive pace. Songs like "Gunshot to the head of trepedation" and "Pull harder..." show just that. every aspect of the record is amazing. Great drums, amazing guitar and a steady beat. The intro. "End of it all" is the perfect intro for a band like Trivium. Then directly afterword, one of my favorite songs "Rain" intensely comes in, kind of setting the mood for the record. Then once that track settles, the drums open up an awesome song "Pull harder on the strings of your martyr." Today this may seem like another metal album just fitting in with A7X and present bands, but I truly think that Ascendancy shows a versatility of melody, Harmony, and absolute thrash. Putting you in different mind settings and tempos. Like the rage and fury of "Like light to flies" to the harmonic yet aggresive tempo of "Dying in your arms." You may think it's out of line to call this a classic, but Master of Puppets sure as hell is one and Triviums bringing that sound back more aggresive and powerful. I definently think Trivium should 20 years down the road be looked upon as a Metallica or Iron Maiden Band. One that's left it's mark upon people and I think Ascendancy may be one of the best albums out there. Trivium has amazing potential and will continue to rise.
